Installed [ATTACH]
Thanks for the info. The 60’s Ford gen I am using is 8 1/2” total length
I didn’t want to run a front plate but our province says different. The bracket is another piece that Henry made for 1932. [ATTACH]
Finished the install on the Cable X speedometer drive. It is converting the VSS signal from the Tremec TKO 600 to the mechanical 1934 Buick...
Wiring is done. Lots of hours under the dash to get to this point. Managed to get the Signalstat 800 working as well[ATTACH] [ATTACH] . Would have...

Spent a couple hours massaging carriage bolts to replace the hex heads that secure the spreader bars. I don’t own a lathe so lots of hand filing,...
I have considered led bulbs as well and will see how they look once 12 volts finds its way to them. Definitely don’t want to get hit from behind...
I tucked the tail lights further back today [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] as in my opinion they looked goofy hanging out in mid air.
